Very little is known about the original religion, and most of the information is from religious practices that have been strongly influenced by Ancient Egyptian religion. Often, Nubian religion is dealt with as only local variations of Ancient Egyptian religion.Nubian religion was independent from Egyptian until 1450 BCE when the distinctive mountain of Gebel Barkal, was defined as the abode of Amon, and a great temple was built to him here. It seems that some 14 temples more were built around this mountain. Gebel Barkal became the focal point of Nubian religion, being said to be the birth place of every god, and the point, even, from where the world was created.Nubian religion had its own deities (see list ofAncient Nubian gods), but many gods and concepts would be imported from Egyptian religion. Nubian gods were also introduced to Egypt. Sekhmet may have been introduced from Nubia, Onuris was at least linked with Nubia and Mandulis became a god of Upper Egypt.
